Family Reading Week: November 15-20!
Listen to special stories from community members including Mayor Haig Haleblian, the librarians from School District 47 and CLPL staff. Sponsored by the Illinois Secretary of State, the State Librarian, Jesse White and the Illinois Center for the Book, Family Reading Night is an annual statewide event held in November to encourage families to spend quality time reading together. Family Reading Night is Nov. 18. However, we at CLPL love reading so much, we turned the night celebration into a weeklong event!
